HP DesignJet 5500 on Vista: Rotation Problem

Anonymous
Not applicable
I've been having a problem with output from vista in general with my 5500. Anything that I try to plot over 24" wide gets scaled to 24" wide. That is, if I try to print an Arch D sheet on a 36" roll, the printer doesn't recognize that I have a 36" roll, so if I print it landscape format (36x24), it scales the bottom edge of the plot to 24" wide.

Has anyone located any modded drivers, or a workaround for this problem? I looked on HPs website, in a few of their forums, and there were quite a few posts stating the same problem that I'm having. . .however, I still haven't located a solution.

This happens not only with ArchiCAD but with EVERYTHING on Vista. . thank you HP and Micro$oft.
